Hi All:

___The Corolla doesn’t have a game gauge in it but with the MDX’s, I learned how to drive both to maximize their respective fuel economy. Picking up and now driving the Insight for the last 3 months was like putting on a nicely worn glove. Each car has there idiosyncrasies of course (MDX is to drive in cruise and tap the DEC/ACC when climbing and descending hills as an example) but what you learn from one car with a game gauge can be applied to the next albeit without instantaneous feedback. The mileage improvement will definitely show.

___With the above being said, I don’t know how one could maximize fuel economy to its absolute limits without the various game gauges and their instantaneous feedback. I won’t be turning the Insight’s off anytime soon

___Eric, you can turn the game gauge(s) and instantaneous mileage off and then on again at will instead of covering it up if you would like. The method is listed in your Owners manual IIRC.

___Good Luck
